"I urge all Member States to show restraint in these risky circumstances and to avoid any acts that could escalate the situation, " he said.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says "the Cold War is back with a vengeance but with a difference".

In remarks to the Security Council in NY, he said: "I appeal to the Security Council to fulfil its duties and not give up on efforts to agree upon a dedicated, impartial, objective and independent mechanism for attributing responsibility with regard to the use of chemical weapons".

"I wish there was dialogue through appropriate channels to avert any unsafe development".

"Our president has not yet made a decision about possible action in Syria", Haley said.

But France'sUnited Nations ambassador Francois Delattre told the council that in choosing once again to use banned chemical weapons against civilians, Assad's regime had "reached a point of no-return".

"I'm not going to say which day we absolutely knew that there was proof".

Noting that inspectors from the Organisation for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) were due to visit the site shortly, it underlined the Damascus government's commitment that they will have full access and freedom of movement.

"Mechanisms and precautionary measures to contain the risks of escalation that existed in the past appears to no longer be available", said the Secretary General. The Syrian government has denied the allegations.

"History will record that, on this day, Russian Federation chose protecting a monster over the lives of the Syrian people", Haley said, referring to Assad.
